Safe words & Discipline: how do they work?

Recently on a Discord server I am a member of, the QOTD was about safe words, how people use them, when people use them, etc. and the topic of safe words during discipline/punishment came up fairly quickly. I don’t think there was a single person who said safe words weren’t appropriate even for “real life” punishments/discipline, including me. However, I had a slightly different take than some others, because of how I do discipline. These days, I am not playing casually with anyone really, even at the few parties I am going to, but I wouldn’t hesitate to safe word if a spanking/implement/whatever, didn’t work for me. I also rarely do real-life punishments and when I do, it’s primarily from me, so I haven’t had reason to stop it. But would I safe word with a trusted, well-negotiated play partner?

Yes, but not how you might think.

Lines as Affirmation

This is a piece I wrote to explain my headspace around line writing (in October 2023), so I’ve lightly edited it to make it “public” facing, but it’s something I think about often, since lines (and essays!) are a significant component of the real-but-not-real-life discipline I’ve done. Lines are not unheard of in the spanking community, but the person I have written lines for, has expectations for them. Expectations that make the act itself structure and discipline, not simply busy work – though they could theoretically also be used as a consequence, I don’t have experience with that (yet!). This was written after the first time I wrote some lines on my own and in a much less formal situation, but before the first time I wrote lines for real, which was pretty cool and came a few weeks later.

Fiction: The Study

This was inspired by a writing prompt from a spanking story discord server to write a spanking story in exactly 100 words. It’s a scenario that’s been in my head as fantasy for a long time but I struggle to write fantasies like that sometimes because I get bogged down in the details. I enjoy the details in my head but they can make a story seem tedious. Drilling down to the absolute core of it like this though? Delectable.

Nervously, she knocked on the study door and then waited, back against the wall next to it, eyes closed. Elsie squirmed in the formal uniform, unused to wearing a blazer and boater.

A moment later, her eyes opened with a shock as a hand firmly gripped her ear and lead her into the office.

“Over the stool, miss, on your toes.”

She obeyed, gripping a rung on the other side as he slowly and carefully began to fold her skirt up into the small of her back.

“Twelve, today.”

“Yes, sir.”

She whimpered as he swished the cane behind her.
